BCP56 BCP56 C B C E SOT-223 NPN General Purpose Amplifier These devices are designed for general purpose medium power amplifiers and switches requiring collector currents to 1A. Sourced from Process 39. Absolute Maximum Ratings* Symbol TA = 25C unless otherwise noted Parameter BCP56 Units VCEO Collector-Emitter Voltage 80 V VCBO Collector-Base Voltage 100 V VEBO Emitter-Base Voltage 5 V IC Collector Current - Continuous 1.2 A TJ, Tstg Operating and Storage Junction Temperature Range -55 to +150 C *These ratings are limiting values above which the serviceability of any semiconductor device may be impaired. NOTES: 1) These ratings are based on a maximum junction temperature of 150C. 2) These are steady state limits. The factory should be consulted on applications involving pulsed or low duty cycle operations.
